Chariots of Fire!

The arrows lie still in the quiver
Spears now beaten into ploughshares
The metal has a new purpose now
Less brutal but a true test of time
As chariot wheels etch their mark
On the sands of time
Lo & behold how mighty a steed;
Will adorn the track with its speed
The fast will move forward
The slow left behind
But in the race of life
Speed alone is not a test of time
How we race does not count
But the lessons we learn
Will for us rewards earn!
